It looks like you've gotten answers elsewhere, but for completeness, I'll explain my shot in the dark:
The construction function (x) sin(x^2) to pick one example, is what's called an anonymous (or lambda) function. In R, they are often used in conjunction with the *apply() family to describe a set of operations to be done column/rowwise on your data. For example, there are the same: apply(d, 2, sin) apply(d, 2, function(x) sin(x)) apply(d, 2, function(y) sin(y)) apply(d, 2, function(d) sin(d)) As you can see, the "x" is simply a place holder variable, not really tied to anything.
